This is the last set of photos from my September 2018 trip to England and Wales

One cadet branch of the Beaupre Bassets lived very near Beaupre Castle in the village of Llantrithyd. This tomb is found in the church located there. Next door to the church is the old Basset residence, now in ruins. This is possibly the most remarkable Basset family history item I have ever seen.
